Regex: word boundaries

Question

I have to search words containing capitalized letters or numbers.

I use \b[^ ]*[A-Z0-9]+[^ ]*\b, however instead of [^ ] i would like to use [^\b], but this selects all the phrase...

Answer 1

You may use \w* for matching zero or more word characters.

\w*[A-Z0-9-]+\w*

or

\S*[A-Z0-9]+\S*

And note that you can't include \b, \B inside a character class. You could achieve the result without including the both inside a character class through some other ways. \S* matches zero or more non-space characters.
